The location is perfect, right to the Chinatown market, there is a lot of food hawker stalls, souvenirs, near to MRT station... The hostel is quiet, it's always clean. They also provide the late check-in for guests, there is only one thing, the last toilet room on the right is a little dirty, hope the hostel will fix it soon. All the other thing is perfect, nothing to complain.

It's more of a people matter than the hostel's”

Stayed here for 3 nights at Mixed dorms of 16 people.
Small room and I was given a lower bed next to the door, so the downside of this was: (1) noisy; (2) light from the common area (whenever someone open the door) would beam into my bed, not much help with a curtain actually.
There's a row of hooks on the wall for people to hang their towels, very convenient but this also brings to another problem: smell, especially when the room is full of people.
Location wise it is very good, easy to find (just tell your grab driver or bus driver that you're heading to Smith Street), not far from Chinatown MRT station, about 5-10 mins walk. There's two 7-11 nearby, so if you need a sim card or something, it's convenient.
lastly, for those staying at a hostel, even if you're in a large group, please bear in mind there are other people in the room/area, so please lower down your volume especially early in the morning or past midnight.

The staff is helpful. The toilet and shower room are not clean enough though. I see the black spots of fungi on the curtain in the shower room. They should change it.

Location was perfect. But value for money is not very good.”

Location was outstanding. Go outside and you're just steps away from attractions. But considering what the hostel offered - I feel like what I paid was not worth it. I guess it's just not that cheap finding accommodation in SG anyway. And also - it's hot where my bed was situated in the dorm room that I have to be almost naked sleeping.

Good value for your money. ”

This is a very good location for the budget travellers as just right down the hostel is the Chinatown Food Street, so you better get your dinner (or maybe get a beer) to cap off your day. There’s also a free breakfast meal, so that’s a big plus especially, here in SG where everything is so expensive.

Excellent location and great value for money if u can afford the location. Everything was organized and reasonable and it was a block away from the mrt.
But it wasnt worth it for me coz it was in chinatown's smith street and it was expensive too. The bathroom and dorm was too cramped. I found other places especially in bugis where they had cheaper food. If u get the hang of the mrts and buses, location wouldnt be a priority.

the aircon is off from 10 to 4 pm everyday, so it is hot if you want to rest in the hostel that time. Our last day in the hostel, it is already 7 pm , the aircon is not yet on, we message the staff through email, they responded quickly but it is already night time that the aircon is back.

Excellent location”

Perfect location, very accesible. Night market just right outside the building. Covenience stores are within walking distance. Chinatown sells the cheapest souvenirs, better pricing vs. Bugis.
No lift, so it may not be suitable for people who have difficulty walking up/down stairs. There are 2 showers, 2toilets on our floor, they were always clean. Water pressure was excellent.
Overall value for money.
